This happened last week but it's really sus.

When a shooting happens in Mexico it's usually related to the drug cartels. But when it happens to Jesuits, it's probably related to human trafficking, which likely goes hand in hand with the cartels and drug trafficking. . .

But here's what's strange:

Two elderly Jesuit priests were killed inside a church where a man pursued by gunmen apparently sought refuge in a remote mountainous area of northern Mexico. They were apparently killed after a man fleeing a drug gang took refuge in the church, authorities said. The gang apparently pursued and caught him, and then killed all three.

The state government later identified the third man as a tourist guide, and said he had been kidnapped and taken to the church, apparently by the gunmen.

For some reason, the gunmen did not kill a third priest who was at the church, but refused his pleas for them to leave the bodies of his two colleagues. The gunmen then took the bodies of the two dead priests from the church.

The Jesuit church explains it this way: “the killers, not content with murdering them, have taken their bodies … leaving a wake of pain, sadness and indignation among all of us who want to mourn them.”

Seems like a misunderstanding between criminal organizations.
